Spent the last two hours connecting and setting up my new Denon receiver. After some initial confusion (the manual is mostly useless, IMO), I've everything working correctly now. I think I'll play around with it more this weekend when I have more time.

In any case, why does it have to come with two friggin' remotes?

DOYLR doesn't flow as well as DOTU, though.

Ran 2 miles though and I'm getting close to pretty regular 10 min miles over 2 miles. That's a real improvement for me. Need to get back to the 5k distance though.

Cool. I had to run 1.5 miles for the MSP yesterday, though they messed up and gave me an extra lap to run. Of course, after all was said and done, they told us that the governor had reallocated the funds which were to be used for the December academy, and that it doesnt look promising that they will have one at all this fiscal year.

It would be moar better if they put it in the basement so they could run the cat 5. I've been meaning to switch mine over but I'm lazy. And my Leviton box was not exactly done in the most professional manner.

Basement isnt really able to be used like that without cutting up drywall. I could probably get it to my room through drop ceilings and following pipes and stuff, but I am in the basement right next to the room the modem is in. Just havnt cared quite enough to do it yet. Its plenty fast, especially coming from a 512/128k satellite.

Yay for Colin!

And sounds way too close to doily to be intimidating.

This may be of some help.

Thanks! Even on a quick read-through, I can see it is infinitely better than the atrocity Denon calls "user manual."

Met up with some fellow countrymen, whereupon we ritually burnt the effigy of a failed terrorist.

Blunnies don't count as hiking boots.

Its ONLY fun the first time.

HEH, what an obscure cultural reference!

But these are actually 'waterproof' Merrell boots. A few years old, but I freshly waterproofed the leather just last week and they are fairly low use - the soles shouldn't be giving way yet

I'm home sick today with a cold. Will watch the Yankees parade, which is only a few blocks away, but I've been to a WS victory parade. One is plenty.

Also got my connection to teh Interwebs bumped up:

I think they added moar toobz.

Hope you feel better, Dinny!

Thanks Dusty. My cousin had a ticket to the City Hall ceremony, but I just can't do it today.

Plus I'll be outside tomorrow freezing my ass off for the USS NY commissioning.

Yankee fans dispersing now and making their way to near my building (we live right next to one of the ferries back to NJ).

Got another right ear impression done for re-fitting my JH13 Pro. Much to my surprise, the audiologist gave me the impression for free. Came home to find my tiles for kitchen backsplash waiting for me. The tiles are really nice, though 1/5th of them were damaged in shipping.

Not cool... Not cool at all. Not one was broken in shipping for me.

I did order five boxes, and the ones that were damaged were all in the bottom box. I did e-mail the seller about getting them replaced, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. As long as I can get replacements in before the 11/16, I'm good.

Flew out to Phoenix for a weekend at Bondurant Driving School, and much drinking. Probably not at the same time.

Jeff is pretty much my hero.

Is the weekend just starting or just ending?

Sorry about the tile probs Salty. Hope you get them squared away in time.

Sat in a room with 100 tax counsel for training on International Tax done by the Texas State Bar... fucking shoot me now, well, except for the 20 or so hott chicks.
